Jax's POV
Me and my brothers had all been summoned to my farthers office.
We sat in silence waiting for him to arrive. My wolf Reaper was pacing in my mind, he'd been particularly unsettled today. Knox mind-linked me- "What is this about, my wolf is going crazy?!"
"Whatever this is, can't be good" I spoke out loud."
My brothers and I had just returned back to our pack after completing our alpha training. We were set to take over the pack from our father next month so he and our mum, the luna could retire from pack duties.
The door clicked open, my mother and father walked in, the apitonmy of regal power and sophistication.
We all stood to greet them, heads bowed.
"Sit, please, boys" my father spoke calmly.
My mother remained standing to the side of my father as he sat behind his desk.
We obeyed.
Kane and Alfie shared a glance, Knox and I remained focused on our father.
"We need to discuss your ascension to Alpha." Father began.
We froze, locked in on his face…
"He's trying to stop us becoming alphas" -Reaper warned. I quickly shut him out, needing total focus on my parents.
"We have been talking to the elders in the council" he paused as if trying to find the right words. "It seems they are not eager to allow you to take over Death Shadow Pack… until you find your Luna's"
A pause of silence.
My jaw ticked, Alfie froze, as if not breathing, Kane muttered something inaudible. Knox fist flew to the table with a loud crack. He was always the most volatile..
"What do you mean? You promised we would take over once our training was complete!"
Our father remained calm, sucking a breath in, mother placed her hand on his shoulder. He looked to me. " you know Alphas are not permitted to take over packs until a new Luna is with them, we all knew there would be push back from the council" - father spoke reverently.
I sucked in a breath, trying to calm my agitated wolf. "Then we find her."
